History

The island is the location of the childhood home of Ruby and Yang and the combat school they attended before entering Beacon.

It is the location of Signal Academy where Taiyang Xiao Long acts as a teacher and Qrow taught before quitting.

It is first seen in the "Red" Trailer when Ruby visits her mother's gravestone and fights many Beowolves in the snow covered forest. The same cliffside is also visited by Ruby and Taiyang in "Round One"

Sometime before enrolling in Beacon Ruby and Yang were training in the forest before a big Ursa attacked them and was defeated by Yang.

After the Fall of Beacon, Ruby and Yang return to Patch and live there for a while recovering. Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren visit Patch and together with Ruby visit the cliffside gravestone before embarking on their journey to Mistral.

The next time Patch is seen when Raven Branwen uses her link to Taiyang to escape Mistral.
